It depends on the contract. But halving the days of makeup for half the cast was probably not a small thing.
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They could save money on supporting cast. But as far as I know, regulars aren't paid by the hour, they're paid by the season or by the episode. Crew's gonna be different, tho.

Right, I'm thinking about crew. I should've been more specific about that.

Shit, it doesn't feel like a 22 episode season! I hate this Summer Finale crap, Teen Wolf. I hate it.
Weird not having that to catch up on this week.
I was surprised they made explicit both of the things I saw for Scott's future--I was not thinking he'd both be so noble he could level up Alpha with zero pack, but also that he had a pack of mostly people. Go show, for all your other faults! Both wishes fulfilled, and I somehow ended up enjoying not!Amelia who turned into not!Ruby.
I had been imagining alpha as a mentor role, but it seems to be a magical game of tag (Peter is now it because Derek isn't? Why couldn't Cora be? Because she never was? WHAT IS GOING ON??). However, the proper role for Stiles has now been named--Emissary. Excellent. Wolf, Emissary, Hunter, Banshee--what do we call Isaac? Fluffy?

Woobie.
We don't actually have any proof that Peter is an alpha now - he may have been ranting metaphorically. That said, he had a sneaky look of triumph after Derek declared he was healing Cora no matter the cost, so maybe if the alpha spends his or her power down past a certain point the title comes up for grab among a pack? Peter's the oldest and smartest surviving Hale, and between the advanced shapeshifting he demonstrated and being able to arrange his own resurrection, it's clear he knows more about the lycanthopic condition than the others (hell, maybe more than Deucalion).

I'm assuming he didn't pick the word randomly from the dictionary. If he's not an alpha now, I'm assuming the quest for same will occupy his time in the rest of the season. But since he doesn't seem to be the turning type since Scott turned out so well, what can he have planned?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I like Continuum's way with a season finale.

Welcome to the feeling all of us watching the broadcast had after the finale.
